David Beckham has threatened to sue tabloid In Touch for publishing claims he cheated on wife Victoria with a $10,000-a-night hooker.

After the tabloid’s cover story quoted a self-described former escort's 2007 affair claim with the English soccer star, Beckham’s rep called the allegations “completely untrue and totally ridiculous, as the magazine was clearly told before publication.”

"Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it," Beckham’s rep told Usmagazine.com. "We are taking legal action against the magazine."

Beckham, 35, and Victoria, the 36-year-old former Spice Girl, have been married 11 years, according to Us.
